Work Description: 
Two whitish forms rise from the bottom edge of the composition against a background composed of looming black and brown passages. The figure on the left is larger, and is painted with mottled yellow and light brown pigment fading to white towards the figure's head. A tiny red crescent-shaped stroke is painted in the top center of this form, and two tiny white dots sit one on top of the other directly to the right and below this form's uppermost crag. The figure on the right is smaller and somewhat resembles a crescent wrench. Steaks of light blue-green are seen throughout the figure and four tiny red dots float in the middle of the void created by the top of the crescent shape.
